Is there any way to reduce the global warming level? if not what would you think of a wonder that reduced a set amound of warming per turn and gave tons of culture (as gratitude to the civ that builded it)

Unfortunately the only ways you can reduce pollution are through recycling centers and mass transit and not building coal plants, etc. I'm not positive, but I don't think there is even any way to mess with it in the editor. Unlike the Call To Power games, Civ doesn't really get into all the future tech like the ocean cities and the like. -
Global warming should be a minor issue, if you get rid of some of the civs. They are the big contributors. so smash their metros. Build recyclers and mass transit in your cities. If I capture a metro late in the game and want to keep it I will sell of the factory and most pollution structures. The city is not going to produce much any way. I will probably have most of the pop as specialist.Comment

my question is about global warming,not polution ie: if after a world wide nuclear war the global warming level reaches red and everything starts changing into desert,can you do anything about it? will cleaning all polution help? solar plants? anything?

No, nothing will reduce it. Once it is there it can't be stopped. Sorry I guess I misunderstood your question originally.Comment

No, AFAIK you can not reduce global warming. You can limit its effects by planting forests. Forests will disappear before the terrain turns to something else. Note that global warming has sometimes positive effects: it may change toundra to grassland.Nym

Are you sure tundra can be changed to anything? I've never ever seen tundra affected by GW unless it had a forest on it. And I've had some pretty crazy nuclear fallouts before.Originally posted by Nym

Yes it can and has turned to grassland from GW. Sorry, I did not realize you were talking about nukings. It is extremely rare in my games to see any nukes used. Currently nothing can be done to reverse the effects of GW, you can only try to prevent it. Structures and metros will contribute.Last edited by vmxa1; September 18, 2003, 14:26.Comment

Yes. I was very surprised when I discovered it, but it happended during a game where I launched more than 20 ICBM on my french neighbour to get it out of my continent (50% for me, 50% for him).Originally posted by Traelin

Wow that's really cool, I didn't know tundra could change! I'm gonna have to stop reforesting them when GW hits, so they can change to grassland.Originally posted by Nym

I think they have to be forrested for that to happen, at least it never happened to unforrested tundra in my games.Comment

I have changed my rules so that terrain doesn't change with global warming but I still get the pollution."Slander, lies, character assassination--these things are a threat to every single citizen everywhere in this country. And when even one American--who has done nothing wrong--is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all Americans are in peril" - Harry S. Truman, Address at the Dedication of the New Washington Headquarters of the American Legion, August 14, 1951

They were not forrested. Else forest would have disappeared first and terrain would not have changed. Actually it is always the way I have seen it for all terrain type and particularly for this case.Originally posted by vmxa1

You may be correct, it is something I have only entered a few times and paid little attention to it. That is merely my recollection of it.Comment
